Comment 0 for bug 1370018

Hi,

our new server installed with ubuntu 14.04.1 lts updated to the latest upstream kernel (Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6), is equipped with two Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) nics. The correct network driver is loaded, but the link to the network switch is not always (most of the times) established. Randomly one, two, all or none of the nics will have a network link established (means lights on the nic are dark). This happens with cold or soft boots.

Attached you will find an apport-report from our system.

We have compiled the latest intel igb-driver downloaded from the intel website (igb-5.2.9.4) and installed it manually in the system.
# cp igb.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-35-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko
# update-initramfs -c -k all

!! Using the latest intel driver the problem seems to be solved !!

If I can supply any further information, please let me know

Thanks in advance
